I know some reject John Lennon due to his total rejection of Jesus. I understand. But I want to again emphasize that I believe it’s important to always separate the art from the artist.
John Lennon was a stupendous, rock n’ roll music master. His contributions to rock n’ roll are legendary and incalculable. I mourn John Lennon’s passing as I also mourn his rejection of Jesus. However, I will forever love (most of) his music. There will never be a lyrical musician quite like him. The man was a gifted poet and a well-intentioned individual.
You are greatly missed by many, John Lennon.
I concurr…I’ve always been a Beatles fan and within the group, I developed a great admiration for the work of John, for his dedication to the art of making great music and for his poetic sensitivities. Great blog, great thoughts!
